Change the size of an image

Your template is designed to work with a variety of image sizes. So unless your image is the wrong shape for the situation (e.g., tall & skinny instead of square), it’s precise size might not matter.

Note At this time, you can only change the size of an image when first adding it. If you need to change the size of an image that you’ve added, delete it, and then re-add it (from the Market).

To change the size of the image:

When first adding an image, click Edit Image to see the editing tools.

Click Edit Image to see the editing tools.

Next, set the proportions: on the Crop tab, click one of the ratios (e.g., Square, 2:3, 3:5) or use the Custom option to crop it manually, and then click Apply.

Or set the exact size: on the Resize tab, enter the pixel amounts.

Note Resizing an image might not always work as you intend. Some templates have styles that cause images to fill up 100% of the available space. If the image is too big, the template will shrink it down. If the image is too small, the template will stretch it to fill the space. These styles help the template deal with a variety of image sizes.

Click Save to finish editing the image.

On the Crop tab, you can cut down an image (make it square, 3:2, and so on).

On the Resize tab, you can set an image’s exact size. Keep in mind that some templates have styles that cause images to fill up 100% of the available space. So resizing an image may not always work as you intend.

Align an image to the left or right

Once you’ve added an image, to align it right or left:

Click the image, and then select whether you want to align it Left, right, or center. Center is the default.

Just by pasting in a link, you can add videos (for example, from YouTube or Vimeo) and even tweets from Twitter.

If you’re not sure if a link will embed properly, just try it out. (The full list of websites that you can embed from is over 1,600!)

To embed a video, tweet, and so:

Click into a blank line.

Next click the that appears, and then click the Embed button

Next just paste the link. For example, for Twitter, paste a link the tweet (e.g., https://twitter.com/trySiteKit/status/555123558418882561). For YouTube, just paste a link to the video (e.g., http://youtu.be/Rswa3_3HUt4).

And then to finish embedding, press Enter.

Here’s an embedded tweet.

Here’s an embedded video.

You can also align the video (or tweet, and so on) to the left or right (just like with an image):
